convert from UTF8 to EUC-JP

OK I have a really basic question I hope.  How do you have UTF8 data saved
to a MySQL 4.0 database and then extract it and put it back into UTF8? Do I
have to use the mb_convert_encoding($str, EUC_JP, UTF8) in PHP before the
insert and the reverse after the select?  I'm using UTF8 on the web page but
the 4.0 version of MySQL doesn't support it ( Idiot me tested it in 4.1 not
thinking so the whole project is designed in UTF8).

Please let me know if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
